Why You Should Consider Vinyl Plank Flooring

It should go without saying that hardwood flooring in a home adds beauty, refinement and of course, value. However, it doesn’t always fit within every budget, when it comes to cost of product and installation.

If you have been dreaming of installing hardwood flooring in your home, but the investment seems out of reach due to cost, have no fear. There is another player in the flooring game, and that is vinyl plank flooring

Vinyl plank flooring is hot on trend in the flooring world, because it provides the look and even feel of hardwood flooring, but at a lower price. Want to know more about why you should consider this natural look for your floors? Here are six specific advantages of covering your floors in vinyl plank. 

  1. Realistic Appearance

When you check out your options for vinyl plank flooring, you may immediately notice how similar they look to the texture of wood. Just because you don’t have the budget to afford hardwood floors doesn’t mean it can’t look like your home has hardwood floors.

  1. Waterproof Material

To reduce the damage that moisture from spills, splashes or the bottom of shoes can inflict on floors, opt for vinyl plank. The waterproof material saves you the headache of worrying about the health of your floors if they get wet, making them the ideal choice for entryways, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and basements.

  1. Affordability

Touching back on the cost of hardwood, you may prefer the price tag of vinyl plank flooring that looks like hardwood. Floors made of vinyl plank come in a range of different prices, depending on whether you want unique features such as improved durability and extra cushioning.

  1. Easy Cleaning & Maintenance

You may not have much time, energy or the inclination to keep your home’s floors as clean as possible. While you must give vinyl plank an occasional sweeping and mopping, neither task takes up much of your time. All you need are a basic broom or microfiber sweeper and mop paired with a mild cleaner.

  1. Durability

If your floors have a history of enduring stains, scratches or indentations, you’ll find vinyl plank floors much more merciful to such mishaps. If you have kids or pets, or plan on having them, make your life easier with help from the durability of vinyl plank flooring. It is both kid and pet friendly flooring

  1. Variety

You don’t have to worry about your new floors looking like anyone else’s. Luxury vinyl plank comes in just as many colors and textures as natural materials, if not more! Hopefully, you enjoy having lots of choices to explore. Otherwise, you may feel overwhelmed by just how many styles of vinyl plank exist!
